The Obituary of Tunde Johnson Ratings & Reviews

Michael Cuby
The Obituary of Tunde Johnson is a provocative film that only gets better with each viewing.
Decider
John Serba
You can't say it isn't bold.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Christy Lemire
I was so impressed by the way it found a totally inspired avenue into the familiar Groundhog Day structure.
Common Sense Media
Jeffrey M. Anderson
It doesn't make the most of its time-loop conceit, but this drama nonetheless tackles issues related to LGBTQ+ identity and police brutality with a clear-headedness drawn from love and pain.
Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Jeanne Kaplan
Kalu has bitten off a huge chunk of the relevant social dilemmas facing Black youth today with his amazing screenplay, and LeRoi doesn't disappoint with his directing.
Kaplan vs. Kaplan
David Kaplan
Surprisingly riveting considering the anguish of being Black and/or gay has been done before. But Kalu's take on the matter, along with LeRoi's direction, is creative, fresh and very welcome.

Sarah Boslaugh
... a young black man [is] killed by the police, over and over again, each death immediately followed by him startling himself awake in his own bed, so he can live the day of his death over again.
The Film Stage
Jared Mobarak
Kalu and LeRoi not adhering to time loop convention becomes a powerfully conscious choice rather than a mistake.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
Ambitious and accomplished if uneven, this is a mixed bag that is nonetheless well worthwhile.
Solzy at the Movies
Danielle Solzman
The Obituary of Tunde Johnson is a film that should get audiences talking...
Edge Media Network
Frank J. Avella
This highly ambitious, audacious work is never what it seems...The creatives are going for something sublime here and they masterfully (and deliberately messily) achieve that goal.
In Review Online
Luke Gorham
Any semblance of internal logic is abandoned in favor of desired emotional beats, and even those are mostly blunted by the seemingly arbitrary nature of each new development.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
The Obituary of Tunde Johnson takes an eerily unique and effective aim at the ongoing slaughter of young black men by white police officers. Tunde stands in for those whose keening obituaries we've already read.
Moveable Fest
Stephen Saito
A cleverly constructed drama about a young man struggling to carve out an identity for himself is bound to throw you for a loop in more ways than one.
The Hollywood Reporter
Beandrea July
An agonizing tale about the weight society hoists upon too many black gay men's weary shoulders, it's the kind of film that lingers in your mind days after you've seen it, as much due to the relevant subject matter as to Tunde's penetrating gaze.
Variety
Amy Nicholson
The cumulative assassinations begin to ache like a mysterious bruise, making the audience feel the psychic weight of living in fear. Yet, the style of the film is more teen soap opera than vérité miserablism.
